Is Purple Base right for my skin tone?
Naturally olive or golden skin? Tan easily in the sun? This one's for you!
Our Purple Base is a great match for skin that naturally has golden, yellow or olive tones, helping you achieve a rich, natural-looking bronze.
Can I sleep in this tan?
Absolutely! Our Medium Dark formula is designed to be left on for up to 8 hours without overdeveloping.
Apply before bed, sleep in your tan and rinse in the morning. Easy!
What's the difference between Medium Dark and Ultra Dark?
Medium Dark: Perfect for an everyday, natural-looking olive bronze. You can also leave it on overnight for up to 8 hours.
Ultra Dark: Perfect when you want a deeper, darker result.
Both are unscented, easy to apply and designed for a beautiful, natural-looking finish.
Will it look orange or patchy?
Our Purple Base helps balance overly yellow or golden-looking tones for a gorgeous olive bronze.
For the most even-looking results, always prep your skin, blend carefully and moisturise daily once your tan has developed.
Is it easy to apply?
Yes! Even if you're new to self-tanning.
Our lightweight mousse blends easily with a tanning mitt, while the colour guide helps you see exactly where you've applied it.
Will it smell like fake tan?
Our mousse is unscented, with no added fragrance. You may still notice a slight tanning smell as your colour develops, which is normal for DHA-based self-tanners.
How long should I leave it on?
Choose your glo!
- 1 hour: Light glo
- 2 hours: Medium glo
- 3+ hours: Darkest glo
- Up to 8 hours: Suitable for overnight tanning
Simply rinse after your preferred development time.
How long will my tan last?
With good preparation and daily moisturising, your tan can last approximately 5–7 days.
For the best results, prep with our 2-in-1 Tan Remover & Skin Primer and Exfoliating Glove.
Can I use it on my face?
Yes! Apply a small amount using a blending brush, avoiding your eyes and lips.
Prefer a more gradual facial glo? Try our Face Tan Water or Glo Drops.
Do I need the Self-Tan Setting Spray?
You don't need it, but we highly recommend it!
Our award-winning Self-Tan Setting Spray helps minimise that sticky post-tan feeling, leaving skin comfortable and matte-dry so you can get dressed straight away.
It also helps minimise transfer onto clothing and bedding while your tan develops.
Should I choose Green Base or Purple Base?
Green Base: Great for fair to medium skin, particularly if your skin naturally looks pink or red.
Purple Base: Ideal for naturally olive, golden or yellow-toned skin, especially if you tan easily.
